N.Z. FREE LANCE ANNUAL
One is reminded of the approach,.of the Christmas season by the arrival of the “New Zealand Free Lance Annual.” This year’s production of 76 pages bears a particularly attractive cover design especially in rural districts for it portrays in full natural colours a very typical New Zealand dairymaid c in male attire with a pedigree Jersev cow as her companion.
The presentation plate,-which is a reproduction of an oil painting by that clever Wellington artist, Miss Gwyneth Richardson, depicts an old Maori wahine in deep reverie and it also a splendid example of the colour printer’s art.
The pictorial section comprises 32 pages of high-grade photo reproductions covering every phase of life in the Dominion.
In the letterpress section there are a number of brightly written stories by leading New Zealand writers. Pride of place is given to an article from the pen of Mr James Cowan dealing with Maori songs and dances. Mr Hector Bolitho is another contributor whose work is indicative of the high standard aimed at in the letterpress pages.
Altogether the 1.928-9 Annual of this bright and popular journal compares more than favourably with previous productions.
